Summary

"So far, little is known about the diversity attitudes and experiences of ethnic minority and majority employees and managers." "This book reports on a study in fifteen Dutch organisations with an ethnically diverse staff. It explores the following general questions: How do minority and majority employees and managers think about employing minority members, and about affirmative action policies? How do they think about interethnic differences, and about the interethnic relations at work? How do they think about the accommodation of cultural and religious differences? In-depth analyses are presented, describing people's implicit theories and experiences, as well as multilevel analyses, examining which different factors contribute to more positive or negative attitudes and experiences. The outcomes presented in this book are valuable for those seeking to understand how a diverse work force can be managed."--Jacket
